Did it on the weekend. However the QR code did not work for me. You can go into setting in uber and do it there. It takes you to a screen when it spins and hangs. I left it spinning and hanging for a while. Went to get a coffee. Came back rebooted the phone and it was linked.
I could talk about how the developers at my small little software company would be embarrassed to push such a poor piece of software out to a customer. However our customers would be screaming bloody murder if we did. My only airline customer is outside of Canada so perhaps AC and Uber are more tolerant.
Back on topic, It can be done somehow.

You are 100% correct about embarrassment, but neither Uber nor Aeroplan seems to care, even when it's deleterious to their business.
Update on linking Uber account to Aeroplan account: The promotion page with the QR code has changed and the QR code now worked for me.

Aeroplan - Uber Eats cannot link accounts
Hey all,
So the promo for Uber Eats and Aeroplan looks great
https://www.uber.com/en-CA/newsroom/...d-partnership/
But everytime I scan the QR code my app says 'cannot link accounts'.
Any one else get something like this or have any suggestions?
Thanks!

Just found out about this today and tried to link my accounts in Uber settings. Getting the same error as others above "Can't link account". Deleted and redownloaded the Uber app, restarted my phone, didn't help. I have an Android device if that makes a difference. I see above that some folks got this to work on their iOS Uber app.

So I did Uber from HNL to my hotel and 26 AP points showed up right away. I did two uber trips to get my PCR tests done, have to use a car, so that is ten uber trips and no $20 yet. Uber recognized my 50th trip, but still no $20 because of Aeroplan?

No Aeroplan link option in Uber app
Edit. I ignored this post when searching since the title didn't match my question. Looks like I'm not the only person missing an Aeroplan link in their Uber App. Still trying to figure out if this is Canada only vs US as well.

Does anyone know whether the ability to link Uber and Aeroplan is for Canadian Aeroplan members only? I don't have a option for Aeroplan in my US Uber app (I already have Marriott listed though) and when I use the QR code/link I receive "we're unable to link your account to this loyalty program right now".
Anyone else have this issue in the US?

I actually emailed the author of this article https://thepointsguy.com/news/double-dip-rewards-uber/ and he said he would contact Air Canada for more information. He has US based Uber and AC accounts and was able to link things.
The only other factor I can think of is if the new Chase card allows for this to happen since the Uber points promotion is supposed to be an extension of the original agreement giving Uber Pass for 1 year.

Not sure if this is the best thread - mods move if you please.
Has anyone else had Uber transactions post on their account activity almost immediately, but not be added to their balance?
At first I noticed a one or two day lag. The last Uber transaction posted on January 21, same day as the transaction.
But my balance and EDQ remain unchanged.
